Junior infielder Hector Lorenzana went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored. Senior infielder Garrett Carey smashed a two-run home run in the fifth inning, his second round tripper of the season. Junior infielder Matt Oberste extended his hitting streak to 19 consecutive games dating back to the 2012 campaign.
